Apparently things have become so bleak for him in the U.S. that John McCain has decided to go overseas and start picking the pockets of anyone who doesn't know him quite as well as we do.

On March 20th, McCain has invited fundraisers to the Spencer House at St. Jame's Place in London.

The funny thing about this fundraiser is that McCain and his staffers have promised on several occasions that his trip to England will be void of any campaign activities. He is supposedly visiting as a member of the Armed Services Committee, not as a candidate.

Seems odd that people would pay $1,000 to $2,500 a ticket to see McCain discuss the Armed Services Committee and not his plans for the Presidency. Its also odd that McCain will not join his colleagues on the plane ride home from England, but will leave a little later so he can attend to other business.
